Life has been a whirlwind. Our souls met July 3, 1983 and became one the day we wed three years later on September 8, 1986. You were the most amazing man I have ever met. Even though our 31 years have had its ups and downs, your love for me never failed to lift me higher than I could have ever imagined. You raised me on a pedestal which I swore I would fall off someday. You never let that happen.
You raised our Girls to become Beautiful and Strong women. I see to this day traits of you in each of them that will bring me peace knowing that you will always be with us. Ray, you were not only my Husband, Nicole and Courtney's Father, Shane/Cody and Mason's Grandfather, a loving Brother to Troy, Denise, Tim, Jay and Debi, you were My Best Friend.
As each day passes the hole in my heart I feel right now will close, but rest assure Yaby, that Love will never fade.
As I said to you just before you left this world---It has been my Honor and Pleasure to be your Wife.
Forever my Love,
Karen
